-- Let the speculation begin. "Howling Mad" Murdock actor Dwight Schultz will be showing up for a cameo in Joe Carnahan's "The A-Team," according to a fansite. Hopefully, this means we'll be seeing other cameos from the rest of the team. Who doesn't want to see Mr. T give this young guns A-Team a vote of confidence with a tiny cameo role. Hell, he can leave his gold chains at home if it makes him happy. Schultz is great, but the fans want what they want: bring back T. (The Official Dwight Schultz Fansite, via Cinematical)

-- "Mad Men" producer Matthew Weiner is turning his attention to film now that the latest season is finished. He's now getting set to helm "You Are Here," a romantic comedy that he wrote. Independent financing is already in place and the cast will include the likes of Jennifer Aniston and "The Hangover" stars Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis. No word on a synopsis, but he'd better get cracking or he's going to leave a lot of "Mad Men" fans very disappointed. (Variety) Read more...

Last week, Jessica Biel revealed exclusively to MTV some of the first hard details about her character in director Joe Carnahan's big screen adaptation of "The A-Team." She'll play Carissa Sosa, a Department of Defense flunkie who has a romantic history with A-Team honcho Faceman (Bradley Cooper). Presuming the flick follows the action genre mold, Sosa will likely spend much of the movie pursuing Faceman and his pals until circumstances force them all to work together against a greater threat. Or something like that. Remember: this is pure speculation.

If facts are what you're looking for, there are some more to share on "The A-Team." Earlier this week, "Entertainment Tonight" reported from the set of the movie in a short video clip featuring interviews with Cooper, Biel and B.A. Baracus actor and UFC champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. You also get a brief, up-close glimpse of "District 9" star Sharlto Copley in his full "Howling Mad" Murdock get-up, but Liam Neeson's Hannibal is notably absent. Check out the video-y goodness after the jump. Read more...

--This news just arrived in my mailbox, so consider it hot off the presses. Overture Films has issued a casting announcement for Matt Reeves' "Let Me In," a remake of the Swedish vampire flick "Let the Right One In." Joining the cast are Kodi Smit-McPhee ("The Road"), Chloe Moretz ("500 Days of Summer") and Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor").

--As if the badass trailer for Chris Nolan's "Inception" wasn't enough to get you excited, there's more news on the hush-hush project today. IMAX Corporation announced that the sci-fi flick will hit IMAX theaters and regular theaters simultaneously on July 16, 2010. And yes, that is too long to wait for something that looks so freaking cool. (ComingSoon) Read more...

This post has been updated because of an error in judgment that I made when it was originally written. I sincerely apologize to the staff of The Sun for my hurtful comments. The people there are working journalists and talented writers. They deserve the same respect, the same benefit of the doubt, that I would show to any other fellow professional. All I can say is that I will learn from this mistake and choose my words more carefully in the future.

Here's a link to the original article in The Sun. While I still haven't had my query to Jackson's management responded to, it looks as though the original story was indeed correct. Read more...

Poor Bradley Cooper. Dude just can't get away from these "A-Team" questions. In case you need a refresher, Joe Carnahan is directing a TV-to-movie adaptation of the 1980s TV series "The A-Team." Cooper had been rumored to be stepping into the role of Faceman. Then he confirmed it. Then he backed away from said confirmation. Then Variety reported he was "in talks" for the role.

Still with me? Here we are today. Cooper chatted with MTV UK this week to promote his latest role, in Todd Phillips' very successful "The Hangover." And sure enough, Cooper was asked about his possible involvement with "The A-Team." His response may surprise you (but probably not). Read more...

Sometimes, you can believe everything you hear -- or read, in this case. A month after Bradley Cooper confirmed himself for "The A-Team," then quickly backtracked, we learn that The Hollywood Reporter reveals that he is in "official talks" to play Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck in Joe Carnahan's remake of "The A-Team." You can still play the skeptic if you like, but I think the third time's the charm on this particular bit of news. Particularly since Faceman is the perfect character for Cooper: handsome, popular with the ladies and hustler for the team.

Cooper's not the only member of team that's been potentially recruited, as Variety is reporting that Liam Neeson is negotiating his own place in "The A-Team," as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, the team's head honcho and tactician. Neeson is reportedly working out "money issues" with Fox, and as he's fresh off the solid streak of "Taken," "Chloe" and "The Clash of the Titans," he is certainly entitled to play a little hardball. Don't you think? Read more...

Earlier this week, we reported that IESB had pulled a rather shady stunt involving suspected Faceman pick Bradley Cooper and a smuggled tape recorder. For those who need a refresher, Faceman forms one quarter of "The A-Team," the 80s TV series currently in development for a silver screen adaptation/reboot.

As the story goes, Cooper was approached by an IESB reporter in a Las Vegas hotel hallway during a press junket for "The Hangover." Asked how he felt about being cast as Faceman, the actor replied: "That's out already?" He then went on to praise director Joe Carnahan, who will reportedly be helming the adaptation. In the latest twist, Cooper talked about the incident with CHUD in an effort to set everyone straight on what he meant. Read more...

You gotta love when actors unwittingly confirm rumors during press junkets. This time it’s Bradley Cooper, who may have accidentally revealed to the guys at IESB.net that he is indeed set to play the handsome con artist “Faceman” in 20th Century Fox’s film adaptation of “The A-Team.” When asked, rather insidiously, if the actor was excited for the role, Cooper responded, “That’s out already?”

Of course, the casting news is not officially out, but Cooper must have been thrown off by the fact that most journalists at the junket for “The Hangover” were trying to get him to admit to signing on to star in “The Green Lantern.” Or, after so many denials, he just wanted to be able to excitedly substantiate something. He even continued talking about the film, enthusiastically stating that Joe Carnahan is going to “make a great movie out of it.” Read more...

I pity the fool who doesn’t think that Common would bring the badass back to B.A. Baracus in Joe Carnahan’s upcoming big-screen adaptation of “The A-Team.” The guy is big and intimidating, a startlingly effective screen presence, and he harnesses the sort of inner teddy bear quality that made Mr. T such a fan favorite for kids all those years ago.

Over the weekend, the “Terminator Salvation” star confirmed to us that the buzz is indeed building, and that he may someday slip behind the driver’s wheel of that famous black-and-red van. “Yeah, I’ve been hearing that, man,” said the actor/rapper. “I’ve been hearing that.” Read more...

One of the hottest young actors in Hollywood right now is Chris Pine, who’ll hit theaters May 8th as the new Captain Kirk in “Star Trek.” But these days, the actor has his eye on another big-screen adaptation of a classic TV show.

“We’ve talked about it,” Pine revealed to MTV recently when we asked whether he had approached his old friend Joe Carnahan about reuniting for the upcoming “A-Team” movie. “I’d love to.”

Carnahan gave Pine his first big break as an action star with the 2006 film “Smokin’ Aces,” and now that the director has been handed the keys to the high-profile film adaptation of the Mr. T show, Pine has been reminding the filmmaker that “A-Team” was one of his favorite TV shows growing up.
